P.A.C.E: Gifted and Talented Services
PACE stands for Plano Academic and Creative Education and is the cornerstone of the district's gifted and talented education program serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade. PACE is more than a course; it is a motivating and challenging experience that lasts over multiple years of a student's education. The PACE program provides a learning environment that nurtures the unique academic and social-emotional needs of students requiring gifted and talented services.
The PACE program focuses on gifted academic experiences and personal development. Although many PACE students also possess artistic or musical talent, courses exist outside of the PACE program for students talented in speech, the performing arts, and/or the visual arts.
Referral deadline for PACE assessment will be Friday, September 10th. Any student that qualifies will begin services January 2020. For additional information, please refer to the Plano ISD Gifted Education Website or contact the gifted specialist, Donna Bui at donna.bui@pisd.edu or by phone at 469-752-2040.
